Rusev purposely keeps his eyes straight ahead, watching the grassy area before them. Aiden and his partner are somewhere behind Rusev and Lana, and he doesn't want to pay the man any attention. Hasn't interacted with him since their match and wants to keep it that way, after everything that's happened since. He sneers, squeezing Lana's hand tighter, aware that Aiden is probably watching, stewing with jealousy and hurt, Rusev finding that he's hungry to see it for himself so he turns, pushing some grass out of the way for his wife and looking around her to see the Digidestined behind her, search out his former best friend, when he feels a sharp pain in the back of his leg, the sort of pain that causes him to immediately collapse, his legs buckling underneath him.

"Rusev!" Lana cries out, moving towards him, but DemiDevimon stops her with a shout. "Be careful!" Everyone freezes at the tone of his voice, looking around worriedly. "It's a Panbachimon!"

"A what now?" a few of the digidestined mumble amongst themselves as Rusev looks back at the strange bear like creature carrying around a bamboo shoot, with antennae and a stinger on his back.

"Panbachimon," DemiDevimon gasps. "Very poisonous, hates everyone. His venom is deadly, Rusev..."

"Destroy him!" Rusev snaps, holding his digivice out with one hand while cupping his bleeding wound with the other. As soon as Bakemon has formed and is going after the vicious digimon who'd done this to Rusev, Lana kneels down by her husband, tears filling her eyes as she takes in how pale he is, his breathing raspy and faint. "I'll be fine," he reassures her, even as pain stabs through his leg. "I will."

"You'd better be," she says through her tears, both of them freezing when Aiden drops his bookbag down next to them and kneels in the dirt at Rusev's side. "Don't you date touch him!" Lana snaps at him and he ignores her, setting to work.

Rusev, instead of freaking out, seems curious as Aiden works quickly at his side, none of them paying much attention to the sound of fighting nearby, Bakemon and Panbachimon brawling all around them, only visible sometimtes. He cries out when Aiden presses a towel drenched in something brown and very strong smelling onto Rusev's leg, taping it in place with some duct tape he has inside. "S'that... that whiskey?" Rusev breathes out and Aiden looks up at him.

"Yes," he says softly. "I was filming my show and had a bottle of it in my bag. Perhaps it may help until we get back to earth and you can get proper treatment."

Rusev flexes his ankle and nods, surprised to find he's already feeling better. "Aiden."

"Yes?" he asks, not bothering to turn around.

Rusev sighs, thinking about everything that led to them not being friendly anymore. I guess... "Thank you for the help."

"You're welcome." He adjusts his bag and walks off as Bakemon, just visible through the trees, deletes Panbachimon by slapping a massive, decayed hand over it, only removing it once he can't feel any more struggling within.

"Thank everything," Rusev groans once the hand is lifted to reveal nothing but emptiness within. As he gets to his feet and starts each, painstaking step towards the digivice he wishes not for the first time that Rusev is willing to help him. "Oh well..."

He's not injured too seriously so he looks ahead to what the thin guy is doing, when Johnny just sets off".. each of his Dean's dash, part of him annoyed he wouldn't et the dicount, just. you."
